Dave,

        Yes it does check the routing table once the idle timer expires,
but keep in mind that interesting traffic is only locally significant.
Just because the remote end has reset the idle timer doesn't mean it
will affect the receiving end. As for the legacy vs dialer profiles it
should not have any impact.
